Black and White (and a little color)

Last week on Papertrey's site Nichole revived the black and white theme from the week before. I made two this weekend, but I used an accent color on each to go along with the B & W.

On the first card I used Papertrey's Boxes, Bags & Tags and Mixed Messages stamp sets. I wasn't happy with the white stamping so I went over it with my white glaze pen.

The second one uses the same stamp sets as above. I stamped my favorite border from BB&T to create the patterned paper. The squiggly line framing the square is embossed with my brand new cuttlebug and colored with a black spica glitter pen--it looks much prettier in person, just a hint of sparkle.
